My goal is to be the last person in America who knows how to use “whom” properly. You gotta dream big.

Anthropic’s investors want to make us the exit liquidity again by shoving this money furnace onto the market like SpaceX.

I will repeat. This company is worth ZERO (0.00$) dollars.

Anthropic is a doomer cult that makes a commoditized plagiarism bot they think is a machine god.

I don’t understand why farmers need an endless series of welfare payments from the rest of us since Trump took office. Aren’t his policies working for you? You need us to pay you so you will keep voting for the guy who is failing you? Don’t you believe in free market capitalism?

So @elonmusk paid for that pro-child rape ad for @VivekGRamaswamy? Along with @BillAckman?

Why are they paying for pro-child rape ads?

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

Amy Acton’s mother stayed married to Amy’s rapist until the day he died. Republicans just paid her to star in an attack ad. Everyone involved should be fired and cast out of polite society. Fucking ghouls.

Today's the 10th anniversary of my ill-fated Betty & Miles Davis DJ night, Battle Of The Exes. The turnout was as disappointing as Miles' Cyndi Lauper cover.

Previewed Tyondai Braxton's Seattle show, happening tonight at Vera Project.

@cyanidetooth Stiff upper lip, mate.

2026 will be remembered for many things, but none more absurd than the detestable Morrissey releasing a melodramatic paean to Saint Lester Bangs.

RIP, Larry Hofmann, who ran the excellent Burnt Hair label out of Dearborn, MI, and was a catalyst for the Detroit area's space-rock boom in the '90s, releasing records by Windy & Carl, Füxa, Tomorrowland, Asha Vida, and Monaural, as well as singles by Flowchart and Azusa Plane.

@SavMerc4547 @TwoUntitled You support a pedophile and a rapist (on top of his dozens of other moral failings) and all those other Epstein file ghouls who back him; interesting position for a woman to hold.

Truly bassist Hiro Yamamoto with a coveted Rocky and Bullwinkle T-shirt.

Here's a near-universal law derived from 46 years of seeing live music: The worse the opening band, the longer they play and the more entitled they seem.
(Or maybe their shittiness just makes it ~feel~ like their sets are longer...)

[Dave Segal @editaurus]

Not a hill I'm willing to die on, but I will sustain major injuries for it. I mean, listen to the 1-2 deep-cut punch of "White Wall"/"Black Eyed Girl." And that's before we even get into "2+2=?" and the title track + those early 45s.

[Dave Segal @editaurus]

If Bob Seger had retired after releasing Ramblin' Gamblin' Man, he'd be as revered as the Stooges, MC5, Velvets, Elevators, Sonics, etc.

@libsoftiktok MAGA's freaking the fuck out about losing Texas, and their desperation is so transparent and risible. What a pathetic post this is.
